Collin Whitaker? Helping me? I try not to look to smug.
"Here, wait, what class are you in for history?" He says, handing me the books and then puts his hands into his ripped jeans.
"Mr. Clivett, and you?" I ask, taking the books from his hands.
"Same class. Want to walk together?" He tilts his head.
I nod and smile.
"Cool." He shrugs. Shooting a quick smile that nearly makes me smile even more. I press my books to my shirt tightly as we walk down the hallway, I have to walk quickly since he takes longer steps than I do.
"So, what's your name?" He says, an eyebrow raised.
"Echo, Echo Tabitha." I say quickly.
"Nice, I'm Collin Whitaker, I guess you know me though. I'm pretty popular." He smirks.
"Yeah... You are." I grin.

Once we reach the classroom, Collin walks in front of me so he can sit next to his buds. I sit at the left side of the room, looking out the window. The teacher is talking but I can't hear him, I continue staring out the window. Yet I'm pulled back to reality when the announcements come on.
"Happy birthday to ECHO TABITHA!" Screeches the intercom. Suddenly, the whole class starts singing happy birthday, as I burry my head in my arms. The singing stops and I look up. Gasps come from the whole room. It's the principle, Mr. Cali, holding a dead rabbit. Screams escape a few of the students.
"Who did this? One of you thought it'd be funny to put a dead, bleeding rabbit in my office." Mr. Cali says. Mr. Cali is known for yelling, scolding and calling parents when he is pranked. As I gaze over to Michael, I don't see him, until I look to the floor. He has passed out, again.
"Who's that. Get him up!" Mr. Cali says, putting the carcass of the rabbit on Mr. Clivett's desk. Mr. Clivett cringes as he pokes it with a pencil.
They got Michael on his chair and back to life almost and Mr. Cali resumed yelling at us.
"You! You there! It was you!" Mr. Cali says, pointing at... Me! I look around confused.
"But sir, I have never pranked you even once! Plus I don't like dead things." I explain.
"Yes but you could've gotten some help. You look smart enough for a crime such as this!" He replies gesturing to the rabbit. I gasp a little, knowing I was done for. As I stand somebody stands too.
"Sir, Echo had nothing to do with it, I did it and I thought it'd be funny. I am seriously sorry. I will go along with my punishment." The person says, I turn around and realize it's Jonathan. He sticks his tongue out to me and faces Mr. Cali. I sit back down as they leave. What just happened? Was I just saved by the Jonathan Bear?! I am very confused.
